A yearslong debate over where trucks can park in Minneapolis needs more discussion among city leaders.
An ordinance would ban semitrailers from parking on city streets overnight, but it s getting pushback from trucking professionals.
The Minneapolis City Council is delaying a vote, and this issue is now going back to a committee.
Many in the trucking industry feel it s outrageous to ban trucks from parking on city streets overnight, and they re encouraged that more discussion could lead to a better solution for everyone. Parking for trucking is very tight in the city, said John Hausladen, president of the Minnesota Trucking Association.
